What is contour makeup?

Face contouring is a makeup application technique using dark and light color shades to accentuate or downplay facial features. Contouring kits and palettes offer everything you need to help you contour your face to perfection, including highlighter makeup and contour bronzer. We highly recommend contour kits or contour palettes for new users.

Some of our favorite contour kits and contour palettes include the jane iredale Great Shape Contour Kit, available in three color palette options, and the Glo Skin Beauty Contour Kit, available in options fair/light and medium/dark.

You can also mix and match highlighting and contouring makeup products for a custom match to your skin tone. When mixing and matching, choose a highlighting color that’s one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. Conversely, your contouring bronzer color should be two shades darker than your skin tone. You’re also going to want to equip yourself with the right makeup brushes and tools for blending your products in.

Contour makeup tips

We’ve compiled a list of our favorite contouring tips to help make your contour makeup application as smooth, seamless and flawless as possible. Check them out below!

Tip #1: As we mentioned above, choosing the right colors for your contour is paramount for achieving the perfect look. When mixing and matching contour makeup products, choose a highlighting color that’s one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. Conversely, your contouring bronzer color should be two shades darker than your skin tone.

Tip #2: Since natural brushes tend to absorb liquid and cream, opt-in for a synthetic brush when using cream or liquid contour makeup. One such brush is the jane iredale Rose Gold Blending/Contouring Brush.

Tip #3: When contouring your face, always begin with your highlighter, applying it to the center of your face and working out from there. For a full breakdown of how to contour, check out this highlighting and contouring tutorial at the LovelySkin Beauty Blog.

Tip #4: When you’re ready to blend your products, gently buff out the contour makeup beginning with the lightest shade and blending that into the darker contouring shade. Blend the highlighter in a circular motion and the contour bronzer in a back and forth motion until the products are well blended and offer a seamless appearance.
